It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.
Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, this solution is very good, with only the management and pricing in need of improvement."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
"I have no issues with the performance and no issues with the way it works."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"The stability and performance of the solution were good."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."
"In terms of pricing, this has been the most affordable, reliable and convenient remote assistance software/service that I have come across."
"I am overall satisfied with the product."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"It's very easy to use. Provides connections that are always on. It was nice to be able to see a list of end-points and see whether or not they were connected so I could troubleshoot any network issues I had."
 

Cons

"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"We have had issues with stability."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"My immediate supervisor said it was lacking in documentation and had too many words to describe how to use the product when crafting instructions to send to our third party consultant who was going to connect to our system behind our firewall."
"Mobile interface."
"I thought it was a little bit difficult to set up, it was complicated."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"An option I would want would be to have a shortcut on my desktop, to click on it, and immediately be able to select which system I wanted to access and which computer in that system I wanted to access, and have fewer steps that I would have to physically go through to do so."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"It is priced fairly."
"For the price we pay, we definitely feel it's worth it, but there are some contenders in the market that are coming out now, whose products are as good; they are offering more features and the price is actually less than ConnectWise. All things considered, the biggest thing is the lack of patching in ConnectWise. If they could integrate that into the product, that would be a game changer, if offered at the same price point."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
